Wildfire smoke can travel thousands of miles and create health hazards, especially for those with breathing or heart conditions, older adults, infants and children, and pregnant people. “Families living with low income and who struggle with access to health care and resources may also feel worse effects of wildfire smoke in their neighborhoods,” said OHA Public Health Director Rachael Banks. “Listening for local warnings and reports while taking protective measures can help reduce those effects for everyone.” FREE AIR PURIFIERS Have lunch at the I.V. Senior Center M, W & F - call 541-592-6888 If you are a low-income older adult with lung or heart disease (emphysema, asthma w/ meds, COPD, on oxygen) or have an infant in the home call or text 541-592-2541 or email ivwellnessresources@gmail.com Call 541-955-8839 for VOLUNTEER INFORMATION or if you need Meals on Wheels Tips to stay safe from wildfire smoke exposure include: Stay indoors when possible, keep windows closed and consider wearing an N95 mask. Follow a management treatment plan for those living with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma. Keep track of medication supplies, and refill prescriptions early. Use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in indoor ventilation systems or portable air purifiers, if possible. You can also build your own box fan air filter if you are unable to get an air purifier. Check out https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science- blog/2023/02/03/diy-filtration/.

Family Coalition Noon - 1 *Jubilee Park 1:15 - 2:15 p.m. Lunch served at the park Watering right can save gardeners money, gallons and their plants, too Jessica Damiano Associated Press Until I installed soaker hoses throughout my vegetable beds this year, I’d always watered my plants by hand, which over the years had become tiresome. Standing outside holding a garden hose wasn’t exactly my idea of a good time, but it directs water precisely to the soil above roots, making sure it lands where it’s needed. That eliminates waste, and goes a long way toward prevent- ing diseases like powdery mildew. That’s good for plants, the environ- ment and the water bill. Placing flexible, porous rubber or fabric soaker hoses on the soil around plants is another preferred way to irrigate, as it allows water to seep slowly over roots. Drip irriga- tion hoses (rigid tubes with emitter holes that drip or stream water) work similarly. There are plenty of other easy ways to save water around the garden. WHEN TO WATER, AND HOW DEEPLy Applying water in the morn- ing, for instance, allows time for it to permeate deeply into the soil be- fore the sun gets too hot. Wait until later in the day, and a good portion of that water will evaporate from the soil surface before doing its job. Later still, and moisture could stick around overnight, risking mold, mildew and fungal diseases. How you water is just as important as when. Giving plants a quick, daily sprinkle offers little if any benefit to roots, which, depend- ing on the plant, could extend a foot or more into the soil. Instead, water less frequently but deeply. And when the soil is really dry, it’s even more important to slow down, or the water will run off without penetrating the surface, just as a bone-dry kitchen sponge has difficulty absorbing a spill. CAPTURE AND REUSE WATER You can recycle water from boiling pasta, vegetables and eggs instead of pouring it down the drain, as long as it hasn’t been salted. Wa- ter from dehumidifiers can be used, too. Waste not, want not. SEE WATER ON A-10 Good Shepherd Lutheran Dads and Duct Tape If there’s a sticky job, duct tape can probably take care of it. But duct tape can do one more thing as well. It can teach us lessons about being a great dad. Lesson #1. Duct tape sticks to the main thing. Duct tape adheres closely to what it was designed to adhere to. A dad’s main purpose is to adhere to Jesus Christ. John 15: 5 tells us, “...apart from me you can do noth- ing...” When we separate ourselves from Christ – when we don’t stick with Him – we become dissatisfied. And when we’re dissatisfied, we either become useless and lost, or angry and unbearable. Jesus Christ needs to be front & center always. Philippians 3:14 (MSG) says: “Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus.” Lesson #2. Duct tape holds things to- gether, and God uses Dads to hold the family together. 1 Timothy 3:4-5 says: 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own fam- ily, how can he take care of God’s church?) Lesson #3. Duct tape isn’t a permanent solution. Duct tape fixes things, but it only works temporarily. Eventually, you have to find a permanent solution. A solution like Jesus Christ. Fathers aren’t expected to be everything to everyone. But what they are ex- pected to do is to point themselves and others toward Jesus. Galatians 2:20 says: 20Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. God tells us that there is only one true thing that holds everything together and that’s Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:17 says it this way: 17 He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. Jesus is the only one who can truly hold everything together in this universe, includ- ing us. You dads don’t have to be the duct tape that holds all of creation together. You just need to be the dad - or the disciple - that pleases God, even in your imperfections. So don’t add more to your burden than what you’ve been given. God doesn’t expect us to shoulder His expectations alone. He gives us the strength and empowerment that we need to do it. You don’t have to be Super- man, so, relax. As John 3:30 tells us: He must become greater. I must become less. The good news is it’s never too late to start being a godly father according to God’s will. Like duct tape, you just have to stick with it.
